Below is a recording of the webinar on “ALARP and asbestos, a job for life?”.

The webinar was held on Tuesday 27 September 2016 and presented by Timothy Dee and Kim Altinkaynak of Aurecon.

It provides a discussion of Aurecon’s experience over the past earthworks season dealing with the new Asbestos Regulations and interpreting them in the context of international guidance.
